Nice to know that I could ask forgivesness for that. But the bigger problem is that some of the kids never turned in those releases, and they are long gone. I tried editing them out of the film, but accidentally trashed the data files in iMovie, and now I have only the exported QT movie as an artifact of the project. The lunch service people loved the movie, and gave it to the director as a retirement gift. That's something, anyway. I know better now. I get those releases signed, and filed early in the year.

I usually attach a letter from me stating how and why we want to publish work on the net - In six years I've only had one student's parents not sign the release and she moved a week later or I think I would have gotten them to sign. The only time I ever had "Copyright" issues was when we made our video "Don't Laugh At Me" which used the soundtrack of Peter Yarrow (from Peter, Paul and Mary) singing the song. He gave us permission, which I later learned wasn't enough because when Apple Computer wanted to publish it on their website I had to get Permission from Sony Records and On The Rock Records - that had the copywright from the co-songwriters to sign off - I already knew the songwriters were VERY enthusiastic about us using their song. When I called each company and explained what we wanted to do and that this was a class of fourth graders that weren't making money - they both said the same thing. "We usually charge about $25 to $250 for public service use - but for something like this we will just waive the charge completely. We give you permission." Which I thought was way cool. Peter Yarrow emailed his permission as performer and we were all set. Hope that helps.
